How to Watch FOX News Live Stream Online without Cable

Our culture is obsessed with the 24 hour news cycle. With world news, political news, and happenings every day, it is no wonder that people are concerned about cutting the cord. Without access to the FOX News live stream, how can you possible keep up?

While the choices are limited, there is some good news for people who want to ditch cable but still have everything they love about FOX News. Here is how you can watch FOX News online without cable.

Watch Fox News Online with DIRECTV NOW

One great way to watch Fox News online with a cable subscription is with DIRECTV NOW. DIRECTV NOW is a live streaming service that offers a minimum of 60 channels for just $35 a month. If you’ve been holding on to cable afraid to cut the cord, you’ll find that DIRECTV NOW is a true cable replacement. The only difference is that DIRECTV NOW is much cheaper than cable and the only equipment you need is a streaming device, computer, or mobile device. You won’t need a cable box or satellite dish. DIRECTV NOW has a great guide, plenty of channels, and is very easy to use. Best of all, it’s contract free, so you can cancel at any time.

DIRECTV NOW works with streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku and Chromecast. It also works with mobile devices and computers.

Access FOX News Streaming via fuboTV

fuboTV is another great service that gives you access to the FOX News stream. The service is priced at $35 a month, and offers live streaming of over 55 channels. FOX News live streaming is included, as are many other FOX channels like FOX Business, FS1, FS2, FX, FXX, and more.

fuboTV works on most devices, letting you stream live TV over the internet. It’s really best for sports fans, as the majority of channels included are geared towards sports. Networks like NBCSN, NBA TV, BeIN Sports and others give you all the sports you can handle! And, of course, you can watch FOX News live for up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest and most important news.

Watch FOX News Live Stream on PlayStation Vue

Another way to watch FOX News streaming live is PlayStation Vue, a product of Sony. You can stream FOX News and dozens of other pay TV networks for one monthly free. FOX News and the rest of the FOX family of networks are all available on the basic package with options depending on your location.

Depending on where you are, the basic package starts at $30 or $40 per month. No contract is required, so you can cancel PlayStation Vue at any time.

You can stream FOX News and the rest of the channels you love on streaming players like your PS3 or PS4 consoles, Amazon Fire TV, Roku (Vue is a great way to watch live TV on Roku), Apple TV, or Chromecast. They also offer iOS and Android apps, but there are some limitations with those.

Your PlayStation Vue account is tied to your home network, so streaming while on the go is restricted. Even with the mobile apps, what you can watch away from home will be limited.

And so much more. With DIRECTV NOW, fuboTV or Vue, you can watch all of these shows online, live, right when they air. So you don’t have to wait for your news or miss out on important announcements or facts.

If signing up for DIRECTV NOW or PlayStation Vue isn’t something you’re looking to do, it is possible you can stream FOX News programming online. FOXnews.com will have some current news video clips, but not typically complete programs. This can help you keep up with breaking news, but not much more. The content changes often and you won’t get a complete FOX news live stream for free.
